[ROM] (update 7/22) Very speedy port of JacHero2.7.3 32B and now with Compcache

Hello all.
First many thanks to Fatal1ty Justanothercroud haykuro NK02 and the many other developers that made doing all this possible. Also now have to add on cyanogen thanks for the info on compcache as has been added to the rom.
This is a complete port including kernal with thankz again to dazcox5181 and made some modifications myself. Is very stable build on my 32B Ion and runs very quickly used for about 8 hours already and no loading screen yet. Al widgets are working and is FULL version for now. No lag between any screens. Is now a complete and very quick rom based on JAC heros build some fatal1ty thrown in and then some of my own mods.
Please try and let me know what you think.
Steps so far:
More optimized Rosie.apk but keeping most widgets here but foot prints and htc sync removed
32b boot img - fully working
correct wlan.ko file included - wifi works
swap on partiton 3 os sd card solved by dazcox5181 first used his idea in making boot.img for my next release good work dazcox. included your changes and working on other modifications to the kernal yet.
Browser don't always close anymore.
For board 32B only http://www.mediafire.com/?tldxy1i9zdn TheArtiszanR0.9 Released 7/22/2009 11.02AM EST
working well on my Google I/O device
next realease will have updated working boot.img and other modifications.
lightly modified rosie.apk for speed and looking in to persistant browser. (don't close all the time) keep same for other apps.
For this rom to working correctly you will need to have 3 partitions on your memory card.
Fat32
ext2/3
linux-swap
in that correct order The swap partition will need to be atleast 32 mb. Making larger won't help as that is the size I have left to. may change later but 32 seems to be more then suffcient.

space holder

Will you be using fatal1tys boot.img?

Apps
I would am only looking to try ROM's with Exchange support at this stage so I would love to see ActiveSync support...

As of right meow. Yes it will be using the same one fate does until I get time later to make other modifications.
As being it is a hero rom it will have the full htc mail app which suppers exchange over mobile network. I am not sure if activesync is capable yet or not.
Pretty much done with at least making the rom fully compaible with the 32B hardware. Just testing everythig now and there will be just a few minor changes and I will upload then first thing tomorrow as home Internet is out for now. Next up will be some more modifications for general optimization. Runs pretty smoothly now and is the full Rosie still with all clocks and weather app working. Will tinker with that some more later on.

what did u mean with direct port?
if you use the boot.img from fatality, the rom wil not be as fast as on the g1, because of the kernel (i hope i understand this right)
so you will get a port only with a different look as the one from fatal1ty
or do you port the moddifierd kernel from cyanogen?
you can get swapper working using this code
adb remount
adb shell mount -w -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/bb/busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell mount -r -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

If your not porting the kernel its the same as has already been 'ported' so is there a point?

Hi mate
Once these commands have been run, I have then installed swapper from the market. What value do I set my swap partition to in swapper ? Assume I am setting swapper to use a swap parition rather than /sdcard/swapfile.swp ?
Thanks.

Sorry I beat you too it, see my posts it's so simple you'll kick yourself (like I did)
extract boot.img from normal jachero, rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack
flash
done.

That is what I am working now I have the boot.imig extracted and looking the other code to see if can be made quicker. Going to have a customized Rosie as well so it will have most usability and less space more speed. Unlike the other one with flip clock and others not working to well. The one I posted above i working good on mines so far.

what do you guys think the best setup for swapper would be for the build as again I am trying to start with a FULL hero and will also keep superlite from JAC's crew as well
currently the userinit.sh is set to
32 / 60
I was thinking of
64 / 40
What is everyones opinion both seem to work fine for me atm I have 64/40 running for about 2 hours and have not had a rosie loading spin once. did get it once or twice on 32/60 but that was having flash games up in browser.

Uploading will be done soon. new version fully working and very speed with some new modifications.

download ubuntu live linux cd
boot to cd and run partition manager
change drive type at top right to memory card, delete partitions, create new ones, make lage fat32 partiton, then 300-500meg for ext 3, and only 32-60 for swap

If you have a card reader you can use any partitioning program like paragon.
or in Recovery console in ADB on PC can do the following should work with a hypothetical 2 gb card.
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1200
mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700 1732

Simple guide to flash android on Nand

12/08/2010 Updated with fix permission
TO ALL PEOPLE:
PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
This method erase all data on your system and you can brick you phone so do it carefully.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone (with hardspl installed)
sd card (1 Gb or more)
time
python
Update guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
important said:
if you have black screen:
reset the device and edit the pannel (E)
with onother type (1,2,3) and retry.

For androidinstall.tar e nbh look in this thread for working setups. (Choose Eclair or Froyo, Donut as problems with new kernel)
You can flash back windows (using your preferred method), if you need, but it's a shame!

Reserved by me

good
nice going l1q1d.
Make this also sticky.
can you add how to change panel 1 to 3 or vice versa?
There are som nbh file that only come out as panel 3

You just Download NBH Editor and select the NBH with panel 3.
Then you will see that you can choose from whatever panel you would like, save and copy on SD

sorry for my english.
good guide.
I installed everything ok android
now if I wanted to update the radio?
ho installato android tutto ok
ora se volessi aggiornare la RADIO ?

Download radio update.
rename it to POLAIMG.nbh and put in sd
start with camera button pressed
push power button when asked
restart
you have successfully update the radio

ok. perfect.

HTC Polaris 100 - doesn't flash
I followed you instructions exactly as you wrote them. BUt it doesn't work.
When I power on the device with camera button pressed I see the 3 color boot screen- but that is it. At this point the screen says "Loading" and nothing else happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been using the Haret version of Froyo and think it is great, but wanted to go the NAND route. I am hoping it will perform better.
Thanks for your help

Re-download the nbh and retry, maybe is corrupted..

A little help

It's been a while since i posted but I'm trying to flash to the NAND but must be a little out of touch as I get blocked at an Error

Thanks for any help

It's very strange, try another time..
(remember that install-seq disable automatically if install procedure works without problems)
there only these errors? are there any "Failed to format"?

Indeed the install-seq did get renamed ti install-seq-disable and the data.img & system.img was on the sd card....
Tried three times already...humpf..
Maybe I'll try a manual install.
I can post the dmesg if you think it helps??

If you use nand install you don't need anymore data.img and system.img ...
the install-seq install all on nand.
Post your dmesg (with a link) and i'll take a look...

Hi, at first I want to thank you for this tut and all your work It walked me through the proces of getting android on my pola100.
Just wanted to ask what I can delete from my sd card after succesful flashing. Can I delete complete folder andboot? Thx for your help

All the files, but it would be a better choice to keep all file on sd...

When I used your install script for the first time it tries to install system.img and data.img on the EXT2 partition.
After restart I entered the menu and selected the NAND option.
When I re-install the nbh and using your install script (for the second time) it is working.

I have the same problem as zeeos, I have "loading..." on my screen but nothing happens. I tryed many nbh...

Try to change sd card or flash from windows application...

Hey guys,
I've followed the guide exactly, performed task 29 first and ran from a clean, formatted SD card.
I'm using the latest Froyo build and have changed it to panel 1 as I have a POLA100.
The install procedure runs smoothly until it it gets to the point where I see the Warm Donut boot screen with animation, but then it stops and just shows a black screen with white cursor in the top left hand corner, doesn't go any further. Is this normal? Do I have to wait longer? I've left it for half an hour...?

Which files did you use?

installing Urukdroid without boot

hello every android fan
i have one archos 101
with a sdcard
i am trying to use the binaries found in Urukdroid 6.0 on my tablet
i have uncompressed and untared the urukdroid.install.tar.gz on an ext3 partition
i connect me on the tablet with sshdroid
i run su to be root ( with the help of archangel )
i run ash , in my .profile i mount the partition under /tmp/u
i update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/tmp/u/lib;/tmp/u/usr/lib;/tmp/u/usr/local/lib"
and PATH
export PATH="/tmp/u/lib:/system/bin:.:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/tmp/u/usr/local/bin"
export LD_DEBUG=all
i have always "command not found"
for example
awk: not found
my partition is mounted with -o rw,exec on /tmp/u
when i run ld-linux.so.2 /tmp/u/usr/local/bin/strace
it seems that every goes well but i have at the end
"libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work"
i am supprised that this lib can be missing ?
same thing with awk and some other binaries
i am a bit stuck
thanks by advance for an help

hello again you give me a good idea
i have mounted my sdcard on /lib
moving ld-2.7.so on the root
now when i want to use a new program it is ok it founds the ld-linux.so loader
but i have still a message concerning a label not found
/tmp/u/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: _Unwind_SjLj_Register (fatal)
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
i have set export LD_DEBUG=all
i have copied libgcc_s.so.1 to the root

last minute it works now i have run bash and i can access files from urukdroid
i will put my .profile soon

[Q] Android on HTC Polaris install errors

Hi,
Apologies if this has been answered before elsewhere.
I have been trying to use Atools to install Android on a HTC Pola100 (Touchcruise) PDA using options HARET & FROYO with system.img and data.img files in order to protect other content on my SD card.
The help page was quite informative except for where to obtain compatible haret.exe and androidinstall.tar files but I found ones on the internet dated 28/01/2010 and 24/4/2010 respectively.
The install process starts running (has a penguin image if that helps), but produces dozens of messages (which scroll off the screen too quickly to read and I haven't found a log file) before finally hanging.
The final messages are:
/init: line 334 :mount_opt: not found
sh: 2: unknown operand
found boot parameter for system
system on sd partition
e2fsck 1.38 (30-JUN-2005)
e2fsck: while determining whether /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted
e2fsck: while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
possibly non-existent or swap device?
e2fsck: mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system failed. no such device or address
failed to mount/system
I thought it might be a problem with my SD card, so I reformatted it and tried again with the same result.
Also tried the partitioned install, but it failed to create the partitions.

have now found an alternative install process that works

hi,
i am trying to install an android version on my htc touch cruise
i am getting the same results
i tried the froyo install from :

what alternative did you use ?

what do you mean by 'change rom' ?

[APP] Linux Installer Taken almost 4 Days to Install

It has taken me almost 4 Days (Since Sunday at 1pm Central Time to now) to download and install Linux on my ASUS Transformer TF101 running AOKP Build 33 using Linux Installer from Google Play... AND IT IS STILL NOT DONE!!!! It is at package number 50,280 of Debian Testing. I don't want to press the Home or Back button cause that might screw up my device... And I can't cancel cause the button disappeared... I tried to email the maker of the app to ask them if this was normal or if I could do anything about it and haven't got a reply back...
Can anybody help me?

It is probably your internet connection.
Just download it to your computer and transfer it as per this thread

One, It has been done downloaded cause my WiFi has been turned off for 3 of the now 5 days.
Two, I am not using that app, I am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galoula.LinuxInstall
Three, It says it is Verifying Packages and it is at 70,000 something.
EDIT: Okay I canceled using that app and am now using the one you suggested...
However I get a bunch of errors

Any update on the issue with the never ending "validating packages"?
I have the same issue. Was running it for the whole day until it reached 7000, then I canceled and tried again.
The weird fing is, when i tried it the first time, it worked very wuickly and without any issues. But as I had a far too small 500MB image, I tried it again. But since that, no success.
Is it possible that there are some old data kept somewhere?
Is it possible to do a clean start?
I tried already the "reset config" function.

Neverending Validating Packages, No Network Required same as previous poster...

I am having the same issue, I also have a Transformer TF-101
I had issues with the "other" Complete Linux Installer that resulted in I/O errors that I've read about being a problem on Transformer tablets or possibly NVidia Tegra tablets
I am using Linux Installer STD or "Galoula" linux installer
I e-mailed a note to [email protected] but it was kind of wordy and didn't include any attachments, don't know if I will get a reply
I did not mention to them that it was a TF-101
I will probably try debootstrap for myself in a while. I think they've put out a ****load of documentation and I can probably learn more from that documentation than I could by just running the app and installing...
Anyway, I too am not convinced that it's doing anything, I waited for 7000 last night and gave up.
Here is a screenshot of the last status report before I cancelled this time.
This is a really useful looking tool, that could save me a lot of time, but with ext2 filesystem I'm not sure how useful it would be...
Does anyone know how to get mkfs.ext4 on a transformer? It has kernel support, all of the existing filesystems are ext4. But no mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.ext4 seems to be available or on the disk already. I am thinking about preparing my loop file on another machine with some instructions from the wiki instead. It's just debootstrap... I already know how to use debootstrap. Hopefully this tool will recognize the installed system and prompt me to update my linuxchroot script, if it does that it would still be worthwhile to use.

4 days? Damn that's a long time. I could have flashed 4 nightlies. It took me 20 minutes on a low wifi connection with the epic 4g
treat ur girl like how u treat ur epic

I have the feeling it could have to do something with the /etc/hosts file
i blanked mine out (came prefilled by rom dev) and used AdFree
now it does not stuck at "validating", now its stuck at "resolving dependencies"
